Single axis solar tracker project tutorialUntitled

What do you know about solar trackers?

A single-axis solar tracker system is a system that follows the light according to its intensity. this is one of the most searched Arduino projects.

there are two types of solar tracker projects available single axis solar tracker and dual axis solar tracker.

single-axis solar tracker has one motor so it can rotate only on two dimensions. and dual axis can rotate into 4 directions.

Generally, sun powered chargers are consistent and consistently the front substance of the sun ascends in bearing. this causes less measure of light occurrence on it. at the hour of evening and night when we will utilize this astonishing sun powered tracker.

it will move toward the sun and catch more measure of light.

What is a Single Axis solar tracker?

The single-axis solar tracker project is an excellent illustration of a little undertaking on the off chance that you are searching for a hardware scaled down project. it is one of the most well known projects as of late.

single-axis sun-based tracker is only a framework that follows the daylight. by utilizing this framework you can make more power gathered through the daylight by the planetary group.

• this system has a solar panel on it, all the systems track the light in two directions. for example, if the sun rises in the morning the system moves in the same direction and for the evening also.

• now the sunset is in the opposite direction so the system will also move with the sun so the system can get the maximum power by the sun tracking.

• in solar panels make more power to more intensity. that means the solar power converted to electricity is directly proportional to the intensity of light.

• In solar tracker, we use LDR sensor For detecting the light

How does it work? Working of single axis solar tracker

Single-axis solar tracker system contains servo motors that help it to move in two directions on one axis.

for example, it is for the x-axis then it will move in the +x axis and -x axis. and the rotating degree is dependent upon us usually we use 60 degrees in each direction.

now, understands the working of this project.

there is a sensor called LDR (light-subordinate resistor).

which diminishes the obstruction in the circuit when the light episode on it.

there is two LDR sensor in the circuit on the two sides.

thus, which LDR sensor shows the less opposition the engine will begin to move that way.

LDR sensor gives result to the Arduino without fail. also, Arduino process the information that comes from the LDR and Sends directions to the Servo engines.

I hope the above working on the project is sufficient to understand the single axis solar tracker project.
